Acupressure points are believed to unblock the flow of Qi to release tension of the inner harmony. Here are some DIY acupressure points may help reduce stress and invoke feeling of relaxation.

*內關 P-6 “Neiguan”: Regulate the Heart and clams the spirit. Harmonies the Stomach and alleviates nausea and vomiting.
